Oil painting on canvas. The painting tells the biblical episode narrated in the book of Exodus in which Hagar and her little son Ishmael that the slave had given birth to by Abraham, driven out of the patriarch's house due to the jealousy of his wife Sarah, find themselves in the desert of Beersheba without water: God sends them an angel who helps them by pointing the woman to a well of water. The scene is set in a Nordic landscape, anything but desert, but it is the figures that narrate the episode, standing out at the center of the scene in melodramatic poses. Restored and relined, the painting is presented in a late 19th-early 20th century frame.
